    What do you think the problem could be? Maybe the compressor piston rings? The truck has about 1550 hours now. Do you think it needs a replacement?

    Aftercooler from the air system, before the coalescing filter. The air dryers are looking good. Not so much engine oil in it.

    Hi Another Ahab, the truck is located in Suriname where we are hauling tropical logs. Mostly heavy logs like Ipe, Purpleheart and other species. A lot of work to convert it into a log truck. Still have some work to do on it...like adding a headache rack and some small stuff.

    Thank you for the information. I wasn`t sure if it was good for the driveline to engage it while running and climbing the mountain. Now I`m more at ease that I don`t damage anything. But these trucks are not full 8x8 right, with the driveline in lock position and in low gear to engage the...

    M1070 Tech & Tips

    Goodguy, you are right. That`s a brilliant idea. I will have to find the cheapest m1070 on GL. Thank you very much for the idea. Then I have spare parts of mostly everything. But if I find a truck at a private owner it might be cheaper also for now. Have to check.

    Oh okay. Another question. Can the driveline be locked and unlocked while rolling or while climbing a mountain?

    Yes the trailer has working brakes. It should have held the load. But the mountain was also very steep. I think I have to replace the one of the tractor also, maybe they are dry out? Sorry to hear about yours also.
